Protocomputation

I recently helped to organize a 2 day workshop called ‘Proto-computation and Proto-life’ with my colleagues Masashi Aono and Betul Kacar. We brought together over a dozen researchers from around the world to discuss various ways in which natural and engineered materials are capable of ‘computing’ stimuli about their environments. It was a fascinating and refreshing series of lectures, and I’m so very grateful for the time and effort that all of our attendees shared with us!
